You're right, it is a bit of a harsh judgement based on the little information given, but it's precisely because of the lack of information given that gave me this impression.nasteypenguin said:
When I read the OP, apart from the line about who could respond to this thread, it's basically just one sentence stating "I'd hit a woman..." I know there's slightly more to that, especially with the thread title, but that's the part that stood out to me.
It struck me as an odd statement to make, let alone make a thread for and it made me wonder what possible underlying issues would cause some to make such a statement and why they'd felt the need to create a thread in order to make that admission.
If he's added more information to his opening post, such as making it clear that it was a question he was asked by a friend and he wanted to ask the Escapist the same question, I wouldn't have got such a strange impression from that statement.
If somebody just came up to you and simply said "I'd hit a woman if she hit me", wouldn't you think it was a bit of a strange, unsolicited statement to make and perhaps question the thought processes of that person?
Also this may seem like I'm splitting hairs, but I with regards to the "it makes you seem like you want to hit women" aspect of what I said, "seem like" is the operative phrase (as is "sounds like").
I wanted to inform him of how his short statement came across, of the immediate first impression I got when I read that statement. I wasn't really accusing him of it, rather I was was showing him a possible way such a bold statement could be interpreted.
I probably could have worded it better and less confrontationally... perhaps subconsciously I was matching like for like and responding to that bold statement with one of my own, but however clumsily I may have worded my thoughts I'm still going to stand by them and say that this is the immediate impression I got when I read that statement.
I know that probably isn't the truth of the matter, but more often than not, how things first appear to the public eye is more important than the actual truth.
I'm not the kind of person to hit anyone. So no, I would probably just look at them and ask why they had done it.
Mostly this. However, if the "one punch" scenario happened, I'd look at her with a confused look on my face and then go about my day, realizing that either she was having an off day or that, somehow, somewhere in the grand cosmic scheme of things...I deserved it.Dryk said:
Multiple attacks? Captcha says "lunchtime", and I'm servin' up a full course meal of pain.
Back off and ask what the hell they're thinking. I'm unlikely to hit a random person if they just hit me once. If she persisted... I'd probably just try to get out of there really. There's rarely any point getting in a fist fight.
Well getting blindsided, I'd be surprised and all like what the fuck? If she hit me again, I'd knock her ass out.
Depends. If she hit me, and continued to hit me, I'd at least try tor restrain her. Same as if anyone else hit me, really.
Hhmmm, assuming she's bat-shit crazy(you would have to be, wouldn't you?)
I would give her 'til 3, then try to redirect her momentum/armlock-no breaking, of course!/restrain her. I would never knowingly strike a female, it's how I roll.
Or just watch the missus slap the crazy ***** upside the head.
That would be much more fun, & less frowned upon.
Crazy world we live in.

Depends on the entire situation, obviously, but I think in general I would probably be too surprised to do much of anything. I have almost never been touched physically by anyone that I didn't already know well, so this sort of situation out of the blue would come as a shock.
And since I've never actually hit someone with malicious intent on my part in my life (that I can recall) because it's just never been called for, if she just hits me once, even in the face, my first reaction would not be retaliation. If she continues the assault, though, I would likely make an attempt to defend myself to whatever extent that appears necessary.

Even if a guy randomly punched me, all I'd due is subdue them. That way, you prove your stronger than them, AND you can shout insults at them! I did that to some guy once, and he ran all the way up the road. Pretty shameful actually, I'm not all that strong. The only reason I let go though is 'cause he'd punched me, and I felt really dizzy afterwards, so I pushed him into the road. Better to stop yourself from getting hit than exacerbating it, all in all.
Nah. I wouldn't know enough about why she's punching me to hit her back. Even if she continually attacked me, I'd probably just push her away, rather than striking down on her with my atomic bombs; that you'd call fists.
I'd be too busy holding my girlfriend back to think about responding.
"Honey! No! There are WITNESSES!"

Depends how big she was, how hot she was, and how much it hurt.
If she was huge or it hurt really bad, I would probably at most shove her away...
HOWEVER, if she was ridiculously hot, I would probably pin her to the wall or make a move or something smooth right after... because if movies are any sign of how women work, they would find that super sexy.
But I would never HIT a woman back. That's pretty fucked up.
Real men don't hit women. I don't care how many obese, constantly internet-dwelling losers and/or feminists want to argue otherwise.

Arm lock, turn her through 180 and shove here away, carry on as if nothing happened.
From experience, it's the quickest and most mutually beneficial way to end a fight.
